Additional chapters examine the Confucian state of Choson, Japanese invasions and the War of East Asia, and early encounters with the West.

Students read about Western influence in Korea, the great Han Empire, Korea under Japanese rule, and Korean liberation.

The final chapters explore the divergence of Korea into north and south, the anti-government and anti-American movement of the 1980s, the inter-Korea summit of 2000, ongoing tensions between the north and the south, and more.
